Maximum - practice problems

The maximum is the largest value in a set of numbers or the highest point on a function within a given domain. In calculus, local maxima occur where a function changes from increasing to decreasing, identified by finding where the derivative equals zero and using the second derivative test. Global maxima represent the absolute highest value over the entire domain. Maximum problems are central to optimization, where constraints are used to find the best possible outcome. Applications include maximizing profit, minimizing cost, finding optimal dimensions, and determining extreme values in physics and engineering. Understanding maxima requires knowledge of functions, derivatives, and critical point analysis.
